Welcome to The List,
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle almost met the same fate as Harry’s mom Princess Diana. At least that’s what Harry’s people are saying. On Tuesday night, Meghan received an award at a ceremony in New York City. Meghan, Harry, and Meghan’s mom left the ceremony at about 10:00 p.m., got into an SUV and drove off, with a police escort. The paparazzi followed, and things got dangerous. Harry’s rep says, quote, “This relentless pursuit, lasting over 2 hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and 2 NYPD officers.” Sources say photographers were driving on the sidewalk, running red lights, and driving the wrong way on one-way streets.

Alec Baldwin’s next movie will be “Kent State”, about the deadly confrontation between Ohio National Guardsmen and student protesters during the Vietnam War. Interesting choice for a guy known for his own gun tragedy. Alec will play Kent State president Robert White.

Jelly Roll tells The New York Times newspaper that he used to tell his daughter’s friends that he drew his tattoos on when he came to see them. “When my daughter was in kindergarten, it was so funny. All of her little friends would go, “What is all that stuff on your face?” I was like, “You won’t believe this, I only draw this on when I come see y’all so y’all are excited about it.” So they believed it, right? It was so precious.”

Yesterday we reported that Arnold is hanging up the terminator, but the one roll he really wants to revisit. Conan the Barbarian. There’s been back and forth as far as the rights…and scripts for the last 10 years and whispers of Netflix picking it up. At this point we’re at a wait and see.

Welcome to The List,
Mike Tyson says he’s open to a rematch with Jake Paul after Jake’s recent loss to Anthony Joshua. Tyson claims this time he’s cracked the code on training, saying he went too hard before and “left most of the fight in the gym.” RadarOnline says Mike thinks a smarter camp would change everything. Which is wild, because the man is still Mike Tyson. If this happens, somebody hide the ear protection… literally.

Turns out the tight end also unlocked international brand expansion.

Lainey Wilson told CMT she stays grounded by remembering where she came from. She said it’s about planting your feet, knowing who you are, standing up for what you believe in, and keeping your people close. Which explains why she can win everything, host award shows, and still sound like the most normal human in Nashville.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are reportedly still neighbors in Nashville as they focus on co-parenting their daughters. Nicole stays in the family home, Keith lives nearby, and they’re even spotted shopping at the same stores…just separately. A source says their dedication to the kids is unwavering. Awkward? Maybe.

Tom Cruise is allegedly on a long, carefully planned mission to become Sir Tom Cruise. A source says this has been years in the making hosting events, shaking hands, embedding himself deep in the British film world. Apparently he knows exactly how the system works and he’s been playing the long game. At this point, don’t be shocked if the next Mission: Impossible ends with him bowing politely and accepting a sword tap on each shoulder.

Miranda Lambert is developing a new TV series for Hulu inspired by her music and real-life friendships. The show centers on a messy female friendship, an escape from an abusive marriage, and a fresh start in a small Texas town that turns out to be full of secrets. So basically heartbreak, healing, strong women, and Texas drama which is already Miranda’s brand. Country music meets prestige TV.

Jon Pardi says Christmas music is what keeps his household sane. He’s got two little girls with very big emotions, so songs like Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph are on constant rotation. Forget parenting books the real hack is letting a cartoon reindeer handle crowd control..
